Our Take

The collaboration between Norwegian jazz legend Karin Krog and British saxophonist John Surman on "Bluesand" is a whimsical journey through the world of experimental jazz. Krog's sultry vocals paired with Surman's ethereal saxophone create a dynamic and captivating sound that is truly unique.

From the first track, "Blues for K," it is clear that these two musicians have a special chemistry that shines throughout the entire album. Krog's ability to effortlessly switch between different vocal styles and languages is truly impressive, adding an extra layer of depth to the music.

Surman's saxophone playing is a perfect complement to Krog's vocals, weaving in and out of the melodies with precision and fluidity. His ability to create intricate textures and layers of sound is truly captivating, drawing the listener in with each note.

Tracks like "Autumn Leaves" and "Bluesand" showcase the duo's ability to blend traditional jazz elements with more experimental and avant-garde influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and innovative.

Overall, "Bluesand" is a delightful and engaging album that highlights the talents of both Karin Krog and John Surman. Their playful and inventive approach to jazz music is a refreshing change of pace in the world of modern music. Sit back, relax, and let the magic of "Bluesand" wash over you.
